VITA ENAMIC ®

VITA Enamic®: Bridging the Best of Ceramics and Composites

VITA Enamic® is the embodiment of innovation in dental restorations. Seamlessly merging the resilience of ceramics with the adaptability of composites, this hybrid material is designed for the demands of modern CAD/CAM technology, offering unparalleled precision and efficiency in every procedure.

Preparation Guidelines 

By adhering to the following guidelines, you can achieve the best structural and aesthetic outcomes for your VITA ENAMIC® restorations.

Anterior Crowns:

• Aim for an incisal reduction of at least 1.5 mm.
• Ensure a circumferential reduction of a minimum of 0.8 mm.

Posterior Crowns:

• Occlusal reduction should be at least 1.0 mm.
• Maintain a circumferential reduction of at least 0.8 mm.

Inlays: 

• Target an occlusal reduction of 1.0 mm.
• In the area of the isthmus, ensure a reduction of at least 1.5 mm.

Onlays and table tops:

• Aim for an occlusal reduction of at least 1.0 mm.

Veneers:

• Incisal reduction should be at least 0.3 mm.
• Labial and cervical reductions should be a minimum of 0.2 mm each.

Bonding tips: 

Adhesive resin cements should be used to bond your VITA enamic restorations. 

Crowns: 

• For adhesive bonding, it's preferable to use a more flowable, dual-curing composite, especially if the layering is thick.
• For stronger composite materials, consider using the ultrasonic insertion method or preheated composite.

Veneers:

• Avoid using dual-curing composites for thin veneers as they might induce a slight yellowish shade change post-curing. Instead, opt for a light-curing composite.
• For ease of handling, a microbrush can be adhesively bonded to the veneer using light-curing bonding or a glue stick as a holder.
• When fixing the veneer, using a finger to apply pressure ensures a more uniform distribution during the adhesive cementation process.

Adjustments:

Finishing and Polishing (Intraoral)

• Ensure special attention is given to the margins and contact points during the finishing and polishing process.
• It's crucial to avoid heat generation during these procedures.

Morphological Adjustments:

• Ensure the occlusion is free from any interferences. Eliminate any unwanted occlusal contacts using diamond abrasives of around 40 μm granularity.
• If there's any excess material, it can be refined using Sof-Lex discs or files in an oscillating dental handpiece.

Polishing Steps:

1. Prepolishing:

• Use the pink polishers from the VITA ENAMIC Polishing Set, operating between 7,000 – 10,000 rpm, ensuring you cool with water.
• Tip: If you're using Sof-Lex polishing discs for finishing and prepolishing, stick to the medium grain (M) and very fine grain (SF) types.

2. High-Gloss Polishing:

• Achieve a high-gloss finish with the grey diamond-coated polishers from the VITA ENAMIC Polishing Set, operating between 5,000 - 8,000 rpm.
• Apply only slight pressure during this process and ensure polishing is done at the lowest speed without water cooling.
